On nutwarmers and other things.

2112009

The black nut warmers on PV are still there. Two of the pink ones in Polson Park, however, have been ganked. One disappeared two weeks ago, and one disappeared this weekend (halloween). Of course, one of them is the one with the little note about keeping warm nuts.

I’m working on an Extraordinary Series of Literary Knitifications! I can’t unveil any of them yet, I want them all to go up together, but here’s a hint: Think Paradise Lost. Think Rape of the Lock. Think Beowulf.

In the meantime, here’s a fun project. It’ll be for a branch on a tree. The next one I make will be a pop-cultural reference. Maybe the Simpsons? We’ll see.

Also included in today’s entry: a couple daytime shots from one of the October nighttime knitifications.

About the Great Canadian Pop Cultural Intarsia Series

Suggestions are starting to come in for my Great Can Pop Cult Int Series. My goal is to make a whole shwack of knitted panels featuring Canadian pop cultural icons and to use these panels as an exhibition. So far, I've heard:
Margaret Atwood
Leonard Cohen
the CBC Logo
Douglas Coupland
Romeo Dallaire
Terry Fox
Chief Dan George
Paul Gross
Rick Hansen
the Hanson Brothers
Gordon Lightfoot
Sook-Yin Lee
Peter Mansbridge
Kate McGarrigle (log driver's waltz)
Bob and Doug McKenzie
Christopher Plummer
David Suzuki
Pierre Trudeau
Neil Young
But I'd love to hear more ideas. I want to know who *YOU* think should be included and WHY! Send me your suggestions so I can immortalize your favourite Canadian in knitting.
